Roth Memorial - Public Sculptures

Featured In Lake Champlain Chocolates, Burlington, VT

$ On Inquiry

Commissioned as a memorial to the parents of four sisters, a curved bench is cut into one side of a large boulder. The seat is honed smooth and the dark, smooth stone contrasts with the natural textures and color of the rough boulder. After donating this piece to the city of Burlington, the Roth family was given permission to place the bench on a beautiful spot overlooking the waterfront of Lake Champlain and in sight of where the Roths lived for many years. An inscription along the top edge of the seat reads “Remembering Bill and Nicky Roth…Steady Winds and Beautiful Sunsets Forever.”

Medium: Granite.

Sculpture in Stone and Bronze

My work is inspired by natural forms – human, plant and animal. I enjoy designing site-specific commissions in stone and bronze for corporations, private residential settings and public institutions. In between commissioned work I produce pieces that I often have on hand for sale in stone and bronze. I also design and create gold jewelry, often using subjects related to some of my larger sculptures. I am constantly trying to find ways to use my work to raise awareness about the kinship and interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of environmental conservation.

I began my study and practice of sculpture while a student at Phillips Exeter Academy in the late ’60’s. I went on to Oberlin College and majored in a combination of studio art and art history. After graduating from Oberlin in 1973, I taught sculpture and art at all levels for many years until finally focusing my attention completely on my work.
